Likewise, Penny was sick of dating hot guys who continued to cheat on her. She wanted a normal and stable relationship, which is why she settled for her best friend Leonard.
Penny wasn't always the loving friend and partner to Leonard that she grew to be by the series' end. In the early days, she dragged man after man through her life, using Leonard as a shoulder to cry on when things inevitably turned sour — despite knowing full well that he was always in love with her.
Penny and Leonard started a relationship on the show's third season, which premiered in September 2009, before breaking up for the first time in April 2010. The characters hooked up again in May 2010.
Regardless, Penny's last name changed from "Teller" to "Hofstadter" towards the end of the series when she and Leonard got married.
As Will Wheaton was telling her about his dating experience as they were both seated next to each other, Penny came to the conclusion that it was too soon and too much for her and Leonard, so she broke up with Leonard.
TOXIC: LEONARD WAS UNFAITHFUL
For so many years, Leonard bombarded Penny about being friends with her exes or when she hung out with attractive men. But out of all the times Penny hung out with these men, never once was she unfaithful or lied to Leonard.
In season three, they had one of their worst rough patches when Leonard told Penny he loved her, and she didn't say it back. With some interference from Wil Wheaton, Penny decided it was too much too soon and broke off their relationship, leaving Leonard and us heartbroken.

While adult Sheldon might want to pretend that he named his son after the actor who played Spock, fans of The Big Bang Theory will know the name Leonard was actually a tribute to Leonard Hofstadter, Sheldon's roommate for more than a decade, and the best friend he ever had.
The couple took care of him like he was their adult son. Leonard was Sheldon's roommate in The Big Bang Theory for years before he was ready to take the next step and move in with Amy. Due to Sheldon's child-like nature, Leonard and his wife Penny were more than his best friends; they were his parental figures.
On the show, Penny and Leonard eventually get married — twice. Both actors say those scenes weren't weird.
This quickly ends in a break up when Penny discovers nude photos of his wife on his phone. Leonard only learns of this when he comes to Penny's apartment to confront her about their own on-off relationship. When he realises his mistake, he and Penny cuddle to comfort each other.
Although Penny and Leonard's relationship took a lot of unexpected turns, it was clear that they were The Big Bang Theory's primary romantic pairing, hence the expectation that they would ultimately end up with each other. The hit CBS series ended with them happily married and expecting their first child.
By the end of The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon and Amy were happy in their personal and professional life together. It wasn't until the Young Sheldon season 4 premiere, "Graduation," that it was revealed that they share a son.
